Queries about safeguarding at Beckton and Thamesmead
Following my visit to TfL's DLR extension project consultation in Thamesmead yesterday, I wish to know, please:
(1) What safeguarding currently exists on the north and south banks of the Thames for the (now-abandoned) road bridge between Beckton and Thamesmead? (Web references are fine, but I have not so far traced any links.)
(2) If such safeguarding is to be lifted, what timescale for that is expected?
(3) What safeguarding exists at Beckton and Thamesmead for any other potential transport schemes, such as roads or an extension of the DLR? (Again, web references are fine.)
Whether by way of web references or new responses, I assume maps will be supplied.
Thank you in advance for your help.
